While I understand the idea of teams that have won cups after multiple disappointments did not trade core pieces. no, none of the core should be moved right now, I do think we need to keep in mind how fucking good and deep that Lightning team was the past 2 years, We are not really the same as them or have that same upside. I would vote Tampa's team last year as the deepest and most talented in the cap era. Not really sure we are on the cusp of anything here. We have a lot working against us a team like Tampa did not.
That said, if we get health, bounces for once in the playoffs we can take a run.
It's good not to panic, yes. It's also good to be realistic.
